Apocalypse: I Can See the HP Bar, Killing Monsters Drops Loot - Chapter 1666 - 702 Cooperation_2

Chapter 1666: Chapter 702 Cooperation_2

“Unless we can deal with these destruction monsters, humanity is doomed! After all, these monsters will naturally die shortly after emerging, and their destructive power in death is even stronger than when they’re alive! If too many of them die, we might really have no space left to survive…”

Han Youlin’s tone was one of utter resignation.

He was typically an optimistic and resilient person, but given the current situation, he couldn’t remain optimistic at all. When he thought about the possibility of them suddenly dying, it made him feel even worse. He himself was in such a state, neither alive nor dead, that dying didn’t matter much to him, but there were nearly a million survivors he had worked so hard to protect. Would they ultimately be unable to escape death?

At this point, he suddenly spoke:

“I remember I mentioned the Dusk Church to you before? I met their Bishop, and the Bishop said he has a way to save all of humanity…”

Wang Tao repeated the method the Bishop had mentioned to Han Youlin.

“What? Sacrifice one million people!” Han Youlin was initially shocked, but after hearing more, he nodded solemnly. “Rationally speaking, if sacrificing a million people can save all of humanity, then that sacrifice is worth it. But the premise is that what he says is true, and that he can actually do it… I have a feeling it’s not very reliable.”

“I also feel it’s unreliable, but we’re really out of options… If we continue like this, we might not die immediately, but the chances for ascension will become fewer and fewer, and ultimately, we’ll still face unavoidable death…”

Wang Tao also explained the ascension restrictions for Level 8 and Ninth Level to Han Youlin.

“There’s actually a quota limit!”

Han Youlin’s face didn’t look good.

Without the quota restriction, he thought Wang Tao could probably ascend to Level 8 or Ninth Level, and maybe even he could have a chance. But with the restriction, it’s different. Wang Tao’s chances of ascending would be greatly reduced, and as for him, it’s even less possible…

“Alright, I’m glad to see you’re safe, I need to head to the Dusk Church, take care of yourselves!”

Having explained what needed to be said, Wang Tao prepared to leave.

“Okay!”

Han Youlin commanded the soldiers standing guard outside to see Wang Tao off.

Watching Wang Tao rise into the air and quickly disappear from view, the soldier watched for a while before returning inside.

…

Returning to the headquarters of the Dusk Church again, it was already late at night.

Wang Tao surveyed the surroundings, there didn’t seem to be any destruction monster attacks. So Wang Tao approached the entrance and entered smoothly.

“You finally came!”

As soon as Wang Tao entered the headquarters of the Dusk Church, the Bishop appeared.

The last time he saw the Bishop, he was confident most of the time. Even after learning of the survivors’ extraordinary strength at Changhe Base, which raised the overall level of humanity and increased the difficulty of his plan to save all of humanity, he composed himself and retained some confidence, as if he was destined to save all of humanity.

But now, the Bishop with disheveled hair and dark circles looked completely different in spirit.

“What’s wrong with you?”

Wang Tao asked, puzzled.

The headquarters of the Dusk Church didn’t seem like it had been attacked!

“You tell me what’s wrong! You promised to update me, but then you disappeared for so many days, I thought you weren’t planning to cooperate! I went out once myself and ran into a destruction monster. If it didn’t spot me and its destruction domain wasn’t so obvious, I might have died instantly…”

The Bishop’s tone was somewhat resentful, and fearful.

Before this, he always thought he was the protagonist of this world, destined to be the great hero saving all of humanity.

But now, he didn’t think so. To save humanity, he realized Wang Tao was an indispensable part. Although he was the one who played a decisive role, without Wang Tao, he possibly couldn’t even step out the door… then he would never find the target he needed, and saving humanity would be nothing but futile talk.

Fortunately, Wang Tao came; otherwise, he truly wouldn’t have had any chance.

“There was no other option, our base was attacked by two destruction-level monsters.”

“What! Two destruction-level monsters came to your base?”

The Bishop jumped in surprise, fearing that Changhe Base might have been wiped out?

“Yes, but before they emerged from underground, we had already safely relocated…”

Wang Tao explained simply.

“You guys are really lucky! Of course, our base’s luck isn’t too bad either…”

The Bishop remembered the whale monster from last time. If it had moved towards the Dusk Church headquarters, all the survivors here might have been wiped out. This also showed that their base’s luck was good.

“Luck is useless, there are more and more destruction-level monsters…”

Wang Tao discussed the various destruction-level monsters they’ve encountered over the past few days with the Bishop.

“… Damn, damn, damn!”

The Bishop cursed, the situation was getting worse, and his task to save all humanity was becoming increasingly difficult!

“We can’t wait any longer! We must cooperate, if we delay any further, even I won’t have any options!”

The Bishop looked at Wang Tao, fearing he might oppose. Although Wang Tao’s arrival indicated his willingness to cooperate, he hadn’t officially agreed.

“Alright, we can only give it a try.”

Wang Tao was reluctantly hopeful, as if treating a dead horse as if it were still alive.

“Great!”

Hearing Wang Tao finally agree, the Bishop finally sighed in relief, then took out a national map from his pocket. Several places were circled in red.

“You should search these locations, the chances of encountering that guy are higher…”

Upon hearing this, Wang Tao squinted his eyes.

“Even at this point, how much are you still hiding from me?”

Previously, the Bishop hadn’t mentioned where they might find their target, Wang Tao thought he had to search the whole country and was ready for an endurance battle. It turned out the Bishop had already pinpointed likely areas. Although the circled areas were sizable, they were much smaller compared to the entire country, making the search simpler.

“Cough, cough, nothing else, I swear there’s nothing else!”

The Bishop shook his head repeatedly.

Besides not sharing some of his personal encounters with Wang Tao, he had told him everything he could, and he himself only knew this much.

Wang Tao didn’t think the Bishop seemed to be lying, so he didn’t press the matter further. He put away the map and said:

“I’ll go start searching now.”

Time waits for no one; every moment is precious. He also needed to find out if this Bishop could really save humanity. If not, he might have to consider hunting Seventh Level fire attribute monsters to see if he could quickly ascend to Level 8…

“Good! Be careful!” the Bishop reminded, then added, “The target ’the power that can destroy everything’—I honestly don’t know what it looks like. But I know that once you see it, you’ll immediately recognize it as our target! Its power is strong, even stronger than those destruction-level monsters, but it shouldn’t attack you. When you see it, come get me quickly… I have preparations to make at the base here…”

“Alright, I hope what you’re saying is true.”

Th𝕀ṡ ςh𝖺pṯєr 𝙞ṡ pՕѕƚɛ𝗱 b𝕪 Ҡ𝑖𝑡ℯ𝖓ɵ𝕧𝕖𝐥

Wang Tao wasn’t very hopeful, but at least it was some hope.

“Rest assured, it’s all true! Whether we can save humanity, it depends on us—not just me, but both of us!” The Bishop regained a substantial amount of confidence.

Wang Tao said no more, directly leaving the headquarters of the Dusk Church.

The Bishop had marked a total of 5 areas on the map, located precisely in the directions of east, west, south, north, and center.

Wang Tao was currently at East Sea, relatively close to the eastern area, so he planned to search there first to see if he could find anything. If there’s no discovery, he’d continue searching based on the distance of these areas. It shouldn’t take long to finish searching, it just depended on whether he could find it.
